COOKING-STOVE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 357,158, dated February 1887.

Application filed April 15, 1886. Serial Xo. 193,931. (No model.)

To @ZZ whom it may concern.-

.r Be it known that I, ORLANDO Dnivrio SML- DING, a citizen of the United States, residing at St. Lawrence, in the county of Hand and Territory of Dakota, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cooking-Stoves; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exactdescription of theinveution, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

Thisinventicn relates to cookingstoves; and its object is to direct the circulation of heated air through flues of the stove in various ways to adapt the stove for the various conditions required in cooking. l l

' To this end theinvention consists in the construction and combination of parts forming a cooking l stove, hereinafter described. and claimed, reference being hadto the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is aplan view of astove alportion of whose top is broken away to expose theinterioix Fig. 2 is a longitudinal vertical section on the line x x ofFig. 1. Fig. 3is a transverse vertical section at theliue y, Fig.1, with the damper 27 horizontal; and Fig. 4 is a longitudinal vertical section of a portionpof the stove on the line e, Fig.v 1, the damper 24 being in line with the partition 2l.

'represents the top of the stove; 6, the fire` grate; 7, the ash-pit;l S, the ash-pan, wherein the ashes may be received and removed from the stove; 9isa damper to control theinlet of cold ai below the grate, and 10 is a damper to an inlet for cold air to the combustion-chamber 18, above the grate. Y'

19 represents the oven; 11, the top of the same; 12, its rear wall; 13, its bottom, and 14 its forward wall. y f 15 is the rear endo'r wall of the stove. 16 is its bottom, and 17 is a partition between the combustion-chamber 1S and the ilue 20. This 45 flue 20 conducts products of combustion down back of the oven, forward beneath it, and upward in front of it. I

21 is a partition between the iiues 34 and 35,

which pass along over lthe oven beneath the holes 23 and 22, which holes are for the recep- 5o.

tion of cooking-vessels.

24 is a damper hingedat the end of partition 21, to swing like a vertical door, and provided with a longitudinallysliding handle, 25, whereby the entrance of either of the Iiues 34 55 or 35 may be closed.

26 is a damper extending across'the stoveto close the entrance to iiue 20.

29 is a smoke-pipe to communicate with the chimney of a house. This pipe is bifurcated, 6c the legs 30 and 31 communicating with the flue at points between the oven 19 and combustion-chamber 18, and the leg 31 also communicates with the line 34.

32 and 33 are dampersin the respectivelegs 65 and 31 of the pipe. (Both shown closed.)

27 is a damper pivoted on a rod or handle, 28, to swing from the vertical position shown in Fig. 2 to the horizontal position shown in Fig. 3. In the first-named position it stops 7o communication between flue 34 and the leg 31, and leaves theiue 2O open thereto. In the second position it closes flue 20 and gives ontlet to llue 34.

36 is a gate at the back end of the stove, 75 which may be opened for the purpose of cleaning out ashes from flue 20 beneath theoven.4

By means of the bifurcated smoke-pipe and its two dampers, 32 and33, in the legs, which comm unicate with the fine 20, between the oven 8o and the combustionfchamber, and without the use of other dam pers, thedral't may be directed around the oven by closing damper.33 andop'ening damper 32, or it may be permitted to escape directlythrough the leg 31 by opening 85 damper 33. By opening both dampers 32 and 33 and closing the outlet of flue 34 by means of damper 27 the draft spreads evenly over the whole top and bottom of the oven and escapes equally up both pipe-legs 30 and 31. By 9o closing thc entrance to flue 34 with the damper 24, and closing the exit from the iiue 20 by damper 27, the draft is directed through the fines and 2O around the farther half of the oven to escape by pipe-leg 30. By closing the inlet to ue 35 with damper 24, and the outlet to flue 34 by damper 27, and closing the pipeleg 30 by damper 32, the draft will pass around the nearer halfof the oven and escape by leg 31. By closing the inlet to ue 20 with the damper 26, and the Hue 34 by damper 24, and opening the outlet to iiue 34 by dampers 27 and 33, the draft is directed through ues 35 and 34 around the partition 21 over the whole top of the oven, and passes out at pipe1eg 31 without going below the oven. Thus my invention enables the operator to direct the draft of the heated air through the ilues ofthis stove in many ways for the various services required of a cooking-stove.

Vhat I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. The combination, in a cooking-stove, of a top, bottom, and sides, an oven and a combustion-chamber side by side within the aforesaid walls and separated from each other by a smoke passage or fine, the said oven being also separated from the said walls of the stove by the same smoke-passage, a bifurcated sn1okepipe and a damper in each leg thereof, the two legs of the said pipe being connected with the stove-top at points between the said oven and combustion-chamber, and both of the said legs connected with the aforesaid iue between the oven and combustionchamber, substantially as shown and described.

A2. The combination of the pipe 29, having the legs 30 and 31,the dampers 32 and 33 in the said legs, the stove-walls comprising the top 5, the back 15, the bottom 16, and the partition 17, the oven 19, having top, bottom, and sides separated from the aforesaid stove-walls by a smokepassage, one leg of the said pipe communicating with the said smokepassage by the flue 20, and the other leg of the pipe communicating with the same passage by both the ilues 20 and 34,substantially as shown and described.

3. The combination of the stove-top 5, back 15, bottom 16, partition 17, the oven 19, hav ing a top, bottom, and side walls separated from the aforesaid stove-walls by a smokepassage, the pipe 29, having legs attached to the stove, one of the said legs, 30, connecting with the said smoke-passage at the side of the oven, and the other leg, 31, of the pipe connecting with the said smoke-passage both at the side and top of the oven,a damper, 27, hinged at the corner of the oven and adapted to close either inlet to the leg 31, and dampers 32 and 33 in the pipe-legs, substantially as shown and described.

4. The combination of the stove-top 5, the oven-top 11, separated therefrom by a smokepassage, the partition 21, dividing the said smoke-passage into iiues 34 and 35, the stove-l walls consisting of the side 15, the bottom 16, and the partition 17, and the oven-walls 12, 13, and 14, separated from the aforesaid stovewalls by a flue, 20, the pipe 29, having two legs attached to the stove and connected with the flue 20, one of the said legs, 31, also connected with the iiue 34,the damper 24, adapted to shut off the entrance to flue 34, the damper 27,adapted to shut off com munication between iiue 20 and pipe-leg 31, and the damper 33 in the pipe-leg 31, substantially as shown and described.

5. The combination ofthe stove-top 5, the oven-top 11, separated therefrom by asmokepassage, the partition 21, dividing the said passage into two fines, 34 and 35, the stovewalls consisting of the side 15, bottom 16, and partition 17, and the oven-walls 12, 13, and 14,separated from the aforesaid stove-walls by a flue, 20, the pipe 29,having two legs attached to the stove and connected with the iiue 20, one of the said legs also connected with the lue 34, the damper 24,adapted to shut off the entrance to flue 35, the damper 27, adapted to shut off communication between lue 34 and pipeleg 31, and the damper 32in the pipe-leg 30, substantially as shown and described.

6. The combination of the stove-top 5, the oven-top 11, separated therefrom by a smokepassage, the partition 21, dividing the said smokepassage into fines 34 and 35, the stovewalls consisting of the side 15, bottom 16, and partition 17, and the oven-walls 12, 13, and 14, separated from the said stove-walls by a flue, 20, the pipe 29, having two legs attached to the stove and connected with the iiue 20, one of the said legs, 31, also connected with the flue 34, the damper 26, crossing the stove and adapted to close the inlet to flue 20, and the damper 24, adapted to close the entrance to duc 34, substantially as shown and described; f

In testimony whereof I affix my signaturein presence of two witnesses.
